Giveaways and Goings On Around the Blogosphere

Happy Friday!!

Today on Austenprose, there is a wonderful slideshow of the Regency Costume Promenade at the Jane Austen Festival in Bath (currently in progress). Definitely take a peek, if you have a chance.

Also, Book Junkie's contest ends today; NovelWhore's contest ends tonight at midnight; and The Book Girl's contest runs until Saturday at midnight. So, if you haven't yet entered these and would like to, you've got a teeny bit more time. Thanks, ladies, for the great book reviews and for hosting these giveaways! (BTW, for those of you on GoodReads, my giveaway there ends just before midnight on Sunday. :)

And, finally, Her Most Awesomeness, Pamela Cayne, has detoured briefly from her recounting of the wild rock-n-roll tales featuring a tight-jean-wearing Jon Bon Jovi (but I'm seriously hoping I can get her to return to that thread soon) in order to interview me on her blog today. Please visit us here and see what kind of EVIL questions some people will ask in the name of friendship!!

Coming up this weekend: Some new Starbucks VIA™ Ready Brew recipes and a lot of deep breathing...

Pamela~I'd say it's MORE than mischievous (JA vs. JBJ?!) but, possibly, slightly less than completely evil ;). Oh, you know I adore you! Thanks again for the wonderful "week" over at your blog... Enjoy the weekend, too!!
